Pre-operative instructions:
- Unless otherwise instructed, do not feed your pet for 12 hours prior to
drop off time. Do not take away
water until 2 hours before you come in to the office.
- If your pet is taking aspirin, please stop at least 5 days before the day
of surgery.
- In the case of other medications, please call our office if you are not
sure whether to give them the morning
of surgery. Do not give any medications with food that morning.
- Bring any chronic medications that your pet takes regularly. For
example, thyroid medication,
Phenobarbital, KBr, Insulin, etc.
- Bring any special diets that your pet is eating. We may not have
these in stock.

and
will most likely get misplaced in
the wash process.
- Bring any xrays and medical records that your regular veterinarian
has
sent with you.
